From today's Washington Post:
In recent weeks, a grand jury in Washington has listened to more than a dozen hours of testimony and FBI technicians have pored over gigabytes of electronic messages as part of the special counsel’s quest to solve one burning mystery: Did longtime Trump adviser Roger Stone — or any other associate of the president — have advance knowledge of WikiLeaks’ plans to release hacked Democratic emails in 2016?
While outwardly quiet for the last month, Robert S. Mueller III’s investigators have been aggressively pursuing leads behind the scenes about whether Stone was in communication with the online group, whose disclosures of emails believed to have been hacked by Russian operatives disrupted the 2016 presidential campaign, according to people familiar with the special counsel probe.
Stone, who boasted during the race that he was in touch with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, has said since that his past comments were exaggerated or misunderstood. Both he and WikiLeaks have adamantly denied they were in contact. Full piece: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/...d35a5dd3c5

Roger -- the 'dirty trickster of politics' who's used set-ups, lies, and everything under the sun to knock out his Democratic and Republican clients' opponents -- is pissed and attempting to rip apart the Post's story. Ref: https://thehill.com/homenews/media/41251...ver-report
He's changed his story so many times now. But, Mueller's reportedly gotten phone logs and Manafort's testimony in recent weeks to add to the grand jury's evidence.
If Stone crossed the legal line, I'll be glad to see him indicted. This one isn't a matter of a wrongly smeared politician who doesn't want to bring negative news back on him/herself by going after Stone. Now, he's up against the Fed. And, even if he didn't cross the legal line but lied to Congress, he could still be in legal peril.
